Side by Side Comparison of: HP

It's an excellent value for the price, with the scan feature a nice extra perk. Easy to install, sharp print quality, smooth operation. I've used it now for three months and it meets my needs perfectly!

For home printing, this has been perfect so far! Does what it needs to do for the small amounts of printing I do here and there.

A great printer for scanning & printing,is a good price. A friend recommended this HP as didn't know what to buy when mine didn't work anymore. As am happy I bought it. Should have alot of use out of it.

My old printer gave out so I had to select a new one. I am very happy with my choice.

I bought this because my old scanner was not compatible with either Windows 7 or 8. Not only is this one compatible, it gives me a printer as well! The print quality and scan quality are both excellent. The scanner also works very well with my (now ancient) PaintShop Pro software.

work good for the price i recomend this printer for those that dont need fast printing very good for home use.

I was looking for a printer that could connect with my PC and print from my PC and scan and fax also. This printer as great functions I registered the printer I signed up for the HP print ink offer online so that whenever my heat gets low it automatically sends ink to my home so I don't have to go out and purchase it I just registered in got a account with them. So I'm so happy it printswell and it is fast I love the software that comes with it I had to actually put in the CD in order to download the software it wasn't able to download it from the internet but it doesn't matter it works. And I love it

Software install up was a bit troublesome. Probably more on my side of the install. Print is fantastic quality, wireless printing is fast, wireless set up was the easiest. Went for the instant ink. I am a low printing user but a high volume scanner- so I will see how it goes. So far after 1 week I have scanned over 100 pages without one paper jam. I did notice that the scan speed is much slower than my last HP printer. But so far no complaints.

so far I really like this printer, had a little trouble getting it working but finally figured out it was my problem and it has worked great so far

Awesome wireless computer. I can print from my phone directly to it. Wireless printers don't work on my campus so I had to buy a wire that would connect it to my laptop. I took a snapshot of the wire that will connect to your laptop to printer if your wifi is down. I have also attached the ink you'll need for this printer.

So far, this printer has been great! My only complaint (and this is completely MY fault because I did not read the details completely) is that it did NOT come with a USB cord in order to connect my computer directly to the printer which means I MUST use the wireless printing option. I know that seems like a no-brainer because it's awesome, UNLESS you live in a rural area that has nothing but PROBLEMS with wifi like we do. Fingers crossed that it continues to work well.

still working on it.

Like similar HP printers, a good value for low volume printing.

A good printer, considering it was used.

This was purchase for my husband's business and he likes it, but says it is quite slow. It does the job he needs it to do, so is happy with it.

Love HP products because they are durable. I would suggest getting the extended warranty since other brands of printers seem to stop working after 13 months.

only complaint I have about this printer is that you have to scan the document before you can copy...there is no "copy" button

Easy to setup. Works great printing from iPhone.
A bit slow to print the first page, but other than that no problems.
After a power outage, had to redo the internet connection (didn't notice for a few days as we were hooked on printing from phones/ipads).
So far so good.

Does as advertised and as I expected. Opted out of auto ink since used mostly for scanning. Setup easy for two computers and two tablets. HP support assistant is by gosh and by golly.

Printer works well, but it is slow. Not a problem for my small workload. The fax even works with Ooma. No problems with wifi either. Ink cartridges are cheaper than my old printer which made a satisfying sound hitting the concrete floor.

One of the main reasons I use a printer is to enlarge my needlework charts so that I can actually read them. I had to go to Best Buy to get instructions on how to enlarge my work in order to print it. There are no left or right arrows to show you that you can scroll either way on the little window on the printer leaving me absolutely clueless as to whether the printer could do what I bought it for.

Bought this printer for our home school. I plan to be printing coloring pages and worksheets, along with the odd photo or two. This was a breeze to set up and wireless printing worked without a hitch. The paper tray is kind of small, but it works for the volume of printing we plan to do. The only complaint I have is that copying takes FOREVER. That will probably get irritating after a while, but not enough to outweigh it's positives. Overall it's a decent printer for the price.

Does not seem to work to well.

The print quality on this economy model is great. I deducted one star because the setup instructions were literally HIDDEN within a long list of files on the CD that was included (with techie-gibberish titles). Once I found the instructions, all was well.UPDATE on 10/10/15: I've lowered my rating from 4 to 3 stars for the following reason... I've just spent 1 hour and 20 minutes on a "service chat" with an HP rep. because my printer was no longer "connecting" to my computer. HP required "shared use" of my computer to solve the problem...something I dislike. The HP rep. explained that when Windows automatically updates drivers, then HP sometimes needs to make updates to maintain software compatibility...but the consumer has to contact HP to get this done. The problem I foresee is the "update issues" lasting longer than my service warrantee.

This printer is great for the price with a couple of exceptions. It uses 110 MB of disk space and dumps software on the hard drive I do not need. This printer will not print output from old DOS programs running in Windows XP that is directed to the LPT1 port. Tried to resolve the LPT1 port problem but was not successful. Then I uninstalled the printer and let Windows self install without using the printer software disk. I do not need or use the scan function.

The 3 in 1 printer works fine. Serves our need. However, the small plastic piece that clips into place to hold the paper on the top back of printer arrived with the left tab missing. The only way to keep it in place was to tape it. Is it possible that one may be sent to me ? I would gladly return the one that arrived with the tip missing.

Would be VERY helpful if you suggested what type of printer cable is required for printer to computer connection.

Printer was relatively easy to set up. Seems sturdy. However, I hate the fact that everything seems to require an app or a registration, etc. just to use it. If I had not purchased to take advantage of their instant ink program I would have installed w/o the on-site registration, etc.

Flimsy, shoddy thing. With little printing, seems to suck up ink cartridges like there is no tomorrow at $35 per black/color set. Tiny paper cassette. Auto-feeder crumbles paper and jams printer, stopped using it. Of course, the thing costs next to nothing, what can one expect, so 3 stars instead of 2.

This always loses the wireless connection and I have to shut it down and reboot it for it to connect back up. It sits 2 feet away so it isn't like it can't get a signal. I would buy something different. Sometimes it will print once and then stop the second time...have to power down and back up and then it prints.

I guess a month and a half of experiences is enough to write a review. I purchased this printer because my old printer (But newer model), the Officejet 8600 Pro had a ink leakage and I thought it would be a better investment to purchase a new printer because the ink is way too expensive and you when that ink could leak again. Anyways, this printer, overall, met my expectations. Me and my family use it at home to print, fax and scan on a daily basis and it does get the job done. BUT I did subtract a star for a reason. Lets start off with the Pros:

PROS:
-Nice and small, can fit in tight spots.
-Super easy to set up.
-Easy to use/understand touch screen interface.
-Ink is fairly cheap and only two ink cartridges are needed, a black cartridge and tri-color cartridge.

CONS:
-This printer does NOT have an Ethernet port. This is one of the biggest reasons I was hesitant to purchase this product because it makes scanning and printing a LOT faster. If you don't have access to wifi at all times, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this printer (but most likely you do).
-It takes a little long to print a page (compared to my old 8600 pro) but still prints fine.
-Ink runs out a quick, but its reasonable since the ink cartridges are so small.

To conclude, this is a great printer for it's price and the little cons won't really affect you too much unless you are printing for a business or need access to a printer 24/7. I do have one very important note:

*DO NOT sign up for the "HP Instant Ink" program advertised on the printer and its packaging. If you sign up for it and cancel your subscription anytime, the printer will get DISABLED!!

Prints well and I like the "scan to My Documents" feature. However, I have over 30 years of professional technical experience with computers and I was amazed that setting this printer up was a very convoluted experience. It should not be that way. I blame the the complexity on HP's desire to install as much of their software as possible on my computer. I don't want an HP Support Assistant or Product Assistant or any of your "pop-ups" when printing. The first few times I printed to the new printer I would get a pop-up telling me I had genuine HP print cartridges and reminding me to sign up for the free trial of Instant Ink program. I just want to print ... and I want a minimal footprint ... just the drivers please ... it's my computer, I get to load on it what I want, not you HP! I bought your printer and I'm using your ink ... now leave me alone. Just Google "hp printer pop-ups" ... I'm not the only one. A 20 minute install of a new printer turned in to a couple of hours of research for HP settings and un-installing non-essential software.

Came w/o installation disc & some cables.

Very slow to scan, ok with printing times, pages while scanning and printing are crooked, dual page scanning is difficult.

Buy this printer if you are comfortable with the printer setup requiring you to provide access to your computer by the third party company (I don't believe they were HP folks but I never did a straight answer when I asked for whom they worked.) In each instance, via chat or by phone their assumption is you will give them access to your computer to do the setup. That might be faster than walking me through step by step but I'm not a fan of overseas access to my computer.

did not have the capability to scan directly to email, which is what I needed had to return it after 18 people from Hp help line could not figure that out!

I bought this printer cuz it was so highly rated and the price was great. The print quality is great! However, if you use any other type of paper other than regular copy machine paper the registration is off.

When the paper comes out of the machine there is this piece of plastic about 1" wide that pops out of the machine to hold the copy as it comes out. What a huge mistake. I can only image how long it takes before its broken off. I thought the easiest fix would be to not use the thingy but it automatically pops out when you print something.

I will say that the installation is very easy. It was so automatic I was amazed!!

Slow, hard to set up. Once you send a print, takes way to long to begin printing. Print quality is good. Doesn't meet the standards that I have for HP products and I have used HP printers for a long time. And its only a matter of time before the paper guide is broken off. I wish I had not replaced my old printer.

I originally thought this was a decent product for the price. But.....after minimal usage it prints terrible. The ink skips (and I use the HP ink) and the paper feed is a joke. Every time you print something, you have to fiddle with the paper. Avoid.

Printer was fine. I wanted a wireless, this was not. My bad.

Did not work, had to return it.

Very poor quality product...It was a waste of time and money

My Dell computer runs on Microsoft Xp home edition, it is 10 years old. Printer is specified to work with the xp version, but it does ,not.It does not install the driver software. I tried for several hours. Would like to return it ,and get credit for it. Please e mail .me return documentation with pre payed shipping. Thank you Ernest Foldvari

Has been returned, will not copy.

I would have given this HP printer a 0 if I could (but would give Donald at Amazon a 10 for his support!). What a cluster this installation has been. I bought it as my Canon Pixma 922 lasted only 13 months and I concluded I may as well buy something disposable but what a huge mistake. HP should really be embarrased by this junk. First, it took a few hours to get the printer to recognize my internet as I have a guest account which I had to disable. I was finally able to get it to connect with a old Dell laptop running windows 7 by disabling my firewall and loading from the CD (the downloads don't work) but never could get it to connect with my Dell desktop after trying to download the OJ4650 full version software at least a dozen times. I know I was downloading the large file but when you run the download, it kept trying to run their easyload utility called "VC500" which did nothing. After about 8-9 hours today (literally just about half the day and about 6 hours this evening), I gave up and called Amazon. I have subsequently ordered an Epson Expression XP 640 (top rated by Consumers Report and recommended by Donald) and since he made it so easy, I will return this HP piece of crap and get my money back instead of tossing it in the trash-although at this point, that would feel very satisfying!!!

This is the worst printer that I ever own. HP makes lousy printers now. I will stick to my fail safe Cannon. Throwing out this printer and buying Cannon now.

This is by far the worst printer i have ever owned. I was given a Brother printer about 6 years ago and all I had to do is buy ink for it. It eventually broke. I bought this in May and I am already looking for a new one. First off, this is a wireless printer. 9 times out of 10 it gives me an error saying that there is no network connected. I have to then go and uninstall and reinstall the printer and reconnect it to the network. Second, after the ink that came with the printer went low I replaced it. That was on August 16th. On September 10th the ink is completely out. This is for personal use and I may have printed about 20 pages.

printer cabe is missing not included does not make sense

This is a piece of crap. Neither I, my son (who is an EE graduate) nor my grandson, could get this to work on any of my 3 computers. Due to some health problems, I have now gone past the return date. DON'T BUY THIS PRINTER!
